Academic activity resumes in Kogi State University

Report reaching the news-desk of aksu360 has it that that Students of the Kogi State
University (KSU) have been ordered to return back to school for a completion of their semester examinations. The students were sent home for four (4) months, following an indefinite strike by a school workers over the
government’s inability to pay their arrears of salaries and other allowances.

The school has been reopened as a result a deal that was struck between the striking workers and Management to end the
industrial action. As the students returned, they hoped both parties would
sustain the agreement, praying against another strike.

Some of them decried the strike, describing it as an “unnecessary distraction
and interruption”. Adeleke Omofaye, a 300-Level
Education student, expressed bitterness, describing the strike as the worst
period in the time he spent on the campus. He said he did not pray for another
strike till his last day on the campus.

Adeleke called for
understanding between government and the university workers to avoid a
situation where the school would lose its credibility, because of constant
disruption of its academic calendar.
